SECOND HARVEST ASSISTS ATCHISON COUNTY FLOOD VICTIMS

Second Harvest Community Food Bank is preparing to help those affected by the flooding in Atchison County, Missouri. The Atchison County commissioners have recommended residents at the Missouri River Bottom evacuate because the water is predicted to go over the levy within the next week. The evacuation warning includes all areas of Atchison County west of I-29.

Second Harvest will provide food and personal hygiene items to anyone displaced due to the flooding. Those seeking assistance will need to present identification from the Atchison County area. Second Harvest has over 100 agencies in Northeast Kansas and Northwest Missouri. All of these agencies will also assistant those affected by the flooding.
